Chapter Objectives
This chapter shows how to use FactoryTalk View ME Station on your terminal to
load and run applications, configure startup options, access the Windows
Explorer desktop, configure communication, and perform other terminal
operations.
Access Configuration Mode
The terminals use onboard software, FactoryTalk View ME Station, to perform
and configure terminal operations. When you reset the terminal, one of these
actions occur, depending on the configured startup option:
• FactoryTalk View ME Station is launched, which is the Configuration
mode of the terminal (closed system). This is the initial default.
• The Windows Explorer desktop is launched (open system).
• FactoryTalk View Machine Edition .mer application is set to run (closed
system).
From Windows Explorer desktop, you can access the Configuration mode of the
terminal by double-clicking the FactoryTalk View ME Station icon on the
desktop.
